Well, the Bauknecht/Whirlpool repair technician was just here and the verdict he delivered after looking at the fridge for about 15 seconds was devastating. This fridge has officially bit the dust. Because we have two compressors in the bottom, the freezer will...
Cool enough for ya part 3!
The saga began yesterday but it's far from over yet. We managed to get the little fridge inside from the barn and found that we apparently hadn't de-iced the tiny freezer inside before moving it and the fridge was not alive with mildew. Just what we wanted to deal...
Cool enough for ya part 2
So I mentioned earlier this morning that we're having problems with our fridge. I decided that the first step I would take in attempting to solve the dilemma would be to defrost the freezer. It was long overdue and I thought perhaps this might have something to do...
Is it cool enough for ya?
Our refrigerator is on the fritz. It's not really been normal since we moved in January but now with it being above 90 on some days, it's clear that the fridge is not performing like it should be. Overnight it gets down to the 60s and the fridge still doesn't keep...
Let there be cold
As many of you know, we live on an old farm here in Germany, built in 1834. Air conditioning is not really big in Germany and only available in newer homes. Having gone from Newf friendly weather in the high 50's last week to the high 80's today. Tomorrow it's...
Make your own picante sauce!
I will openly admit that I LOVE picante sauce. I grew up in Texas, we like our food spicy and there are few things tastier on scrambled eggs than picante. I am a Pace fan (it’s made in San Antonio, you know) but we can’t get it here in Germany. In fact, you can’t get...
We love our new freezer trunk
We bought a new freezer trunk earlier this week and are currently completely in love with it. We went shopping yesterday to start filling it up and of course because we have houseguests coming this weekend. They won't all be staying here which takes some pressure off...
Keeping up with our wine collection
One of our more major projects down the road will be constructing a wine cellar here on the farm. We are not avid wine collectors since most of our money goes into the house but we do enjoy good wines and are trying to learn all we can. We are lucky enough to live...
Self-Reliant Searches
There's been a common trend popping up around a lot of the blogs I read...people have been addressing some of the more interesting search terms that have led to their blog and I figure it's about time to get that party started here. So with no further ado here are the...
The proud owner of a new coffee machine
I have to admit that I am not really a major coffee drinker. While I do enjoy a good cup of coffee (with plenty of cream and sugar to accompany...and perhaps some caramel flavoring...yum) I do not generally make myself coffee on a regular basis. I think we bought our...
